Anyone else’s DH or SO been diagnosed bipolar?
DH was diagnosed in April after a suicide attempt. (We separated in February)It’s been a bumpy road since then. (We are back together) We’re doing better but I realize I’m not expressing my emotions to him because I worry how he will react.
He’s on medication and going to therapy, he’s made a lot of improvement so far but anytime I’m irritable or frustrated he feels like it’s a direct line of hate towards him.
I’m struggling internally.
I will delete this later.

My husband was diagnosed bipolar with manic depression about 11 years ago. It’s a long bumpy road and it’s not easy most of the time but I love him and he tries his best and I had to learn to not hold anything against him in certain situations

It hard not to be able to talk to your better half even if he’s bipolar ❤️ at least he s doing something about it ,I have a sister who is definitely bi polar and Un medicated ;( you should be able to not have to hold in all your thought s ,it’s a lot to take in I’m sure

I’m so sorry that you’re going through this. Would it be beneficial for you to go to therapy to express yourself? Then maybe loop him in when you feel you can properly tell him how you feel without him feeling blamed? I’m hoping you can find a groove soon. That in between limbo is so tough.

My mom is unmedicated bipolar depression (bipolar 1 disorder).
I can definitely relate to watching what you say because of how someone will react. I love my momma dearly but sometimes she is completely unbearable. She's been alot better since she started working. Keeping herself busy works for some reason.
After I had Aubrey I told her I was moving in with my husband. I didn't like taking the baby back and forth plus I had an alcoholic step dad... I didn't want her raised around that like I was. Anyways when we got there she started throwing her things out of the car... Screaming....

@evildrporkchop. You don't sound cold hearted to me, you sound level headed, I wouldn't give addicts money. Now, are you against funding them because they are together? Is there bad blood between you guys? Have you considered personal therapy? It might help with your internal struggle, someone else mentioned support groups, those would be really helpful, especially in dealing with bipolar disorder in a loved one

I think therapy would be great for me, I’m calling my primary now to see if she can recommend anyone in the area. I have bad blood with FIL all around, even if he wasn’t an addict and wasn’t with her. He was arrested for sexual assault of a child. Long back story, unforgivable acts.

You don't have to explain yourself. I draw the line at sexual predator, I can't be convinced they can change. I hope you find a good therapist, a bad therapist is worse for your health than not getting one, smh.

My son was diagnosed bipolar 1 about 2 years ago. My father was bipolar as well. It’s so hard. Join a support group, talk to people who you’re comfortable with. I’m here if you want to talk.

Send me a private message and we can chat. I’ve been with my husband for 16 long years and married for 12 of them. He was diagnosed bipolar many years ago. It runs in his family. Believe me when I say I understand it all. When he is doing well he is an awesome person and that’s why I fell in love with him but sometimes....it can be a roller coaster that no one understands unless they are experiencing it.
